Hello,
I have never ever even seen CSS coding before and I was wondering if there is something that could help me get going with it. Get me off my feet, ya know. I would like to learn it but I don't know where to go.
ThanksHere you go <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp</a><!-- m -->
hope that helps you
Don't worry, most of CSS of pretty simple once you get used to the differences between it and HTML.
Here's a site ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css.html">http://htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css.html</a><!-- m --> (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css.html">http://htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css.html</a><!-- m -->)) that really helped me. The author starts out by having you do simple things like change font colors and sizes, then teaches you how to set borders, hover effects, and finally, a little bit of positioning. Make practice html files so you can follow along, and you'll pick it up pretty quickly.Thank you. I will for sure check those sites out. Anything else would help!Hi -
You might want to check out the Forums at Site Point - their CSS one is wonderful.

It would do you well to read over the first 3 posts and their many links to other places before you begin digging into the rest.
Good luck,

p.s. - Totally worth the effort!Now that you are starting to use CSS, you should know what it is used for.
CSS is one of the most misunderstood programming languages there is (mostly because micro$oft messes it up).
CSS was designed to seperate presentation from content.
many websites use tables to form their layouts. However, tables wewe created to display information, not format webpages.
With CSS, people with disabilitys know that tables are used only for data, and not layouts now, because CSS is the one doing layouts and style.
CSS isn't only for visual effect. For People using TTS, CSS can tell the synthesiser how to read it, slowly, with emphasis, ect.
also if you start to use CSS, dont use visual style attributes (Deprecated by the W3C, anyways) like <body bgcolor="#ff0000">, but rather: <body style="background-color:#ff0000;">.
Remember: Dont use tags for their visual effect. use it for their purpose. Let CSS take care of the visual effect.
p.s.
make sure your pages are ALWAYS valid HTML as defined by the W3C (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org">http://www.w3.org</a><!-- m -->). and test your pages in multiple browsers, like opera and mozilla/firefox, not just IE. Mozilla users HATE that. Belive me...
